  2. Flexi Cloud Updated this morning...

    Where do I find what the update was for?
  3. Upgrade to Flexi Cloud?

    Is there a real reason not to upgrade to Flexi Cloud? Anybody happy with it and think it's worth it? ("It" being the hassle of upgrading, not the price of zero dollars)
  4. Identify the bracket?

    Does anyone recognize this bracket/sign? It looks kind of odd, like it needs another bracket below it. I need to match it or get very close.
  5. Flexi 10.5 printing wireframe as thick line

    I usually print a wireframe if an object is white so I know where to trim to (for magnets, banners, etc.). Now I can't seem to print wireframe without it printing the line about an inch thick. Making the box transparent and adding a .010 stroke fixes it, but still, that's weird. A couple days...
  6. Mimaki JV3 printing at small scale, Flexi 10.5

    I sent some 2" color swatches and they print at 1". Weird. Restarted, got them to print at 2". Sent my job at 50.5" wide...it started printing at 7.25" wide! It's listed correct in the production manager, it's just outputting a baby version. Am I missing something? Job due tomorrow of course.
  7. Can print large files in Flexi 7.6 but not 10.5

    Large files (around 300MB) will make Flexi 10.5 freeze up while "exporting to pdf" after I hit send. I can print the same file in 7.6 no problem. Ideas? Printing large files in 7.6 kind of defeats the purpose of upgrading. Computer: XP SP3 Pentium D 2.80 GHz, 3GB RAM, Radeon x600 256MB Or is...
  8. Can't see/use multiple font styles

    This is happening here at work on Flexi10 and at home in CS5 with a few free fonts. I'll drag & drop a font, "Duke" from Lost Type, which has a beveled font file, a filled font file and a shadow font file and it will only show and let me use one. If I try to drag & drop one of the files I...
  9. Removable Gator letters on glass?

    Anybody have a solution for mounting large (over 5' tall) routed 1" Gatorfoam letters (in a condensed font) on glass panels that must be removable to gain access to lighting behind the glass? There are 4 glass panels and the letters span multiple panels.
  10. Church Rally Day flyer

    I did this over the weekend for my church (I'm on the marketing committee for the event). Before I took over the project the flyer was a Word file with hot dog, watermelon, etc. clipart. I like how it turned out.
  11. Gatorfoam edge finishing tape

    I searched, but couldn't find a topic about this. We've got a client that wants 1/2" Gatorfoam with finished edges. I've seen this done with a black tape, but what kind of taped is used that sticks to the foam edge? Anyone have a supplier? Utrecht has a bunch of black tapes, but I'm not...
  12. Mimaki JV3 - half cyan missing on test print

    I did a test print today that got progressively worse with cleaning/soaking. Now there is only a faint trace of cyan on the left portion of the test. When I watch the pump at the back there is some cyan that flows, but it takes considerably longer to appear than the other colors. The dampers...
  13. Logo critique

    I tried to go "country living" with this one. They sell maple syrup, fresh eggs, etc. Something doesn't look right about "Crows" I don't know if it's the big "s" or the "C". If I knock off the top of the C, the whole thing slopes down. Any thoughts? I also attached their original.
  14. Boat Lettering - Critique

    So my in-laws bought a sailboat last summer and they want me to hand paint the name. It's a white boat with a burg/silver/black scheme. So far the only direction I've been given is "piratey", so you may see some ride-turned-movie influence in the lettering. I don't know, I've been staring at...
  15. Flexi 7.6 - Unrecov, now can't open

    Flexiiiiiii!!!!!!!:frustrated: Yes, I saved often. I added a gradient to a layout, then I tried to save again:"Unrecoverable system error. We recommend blah blah" --not really a recommendation, since it shuts down by itself, but anyway. I think,"okay, I'll just have to work from my last...
  16. Jv3 / Flexi 7.6 stops mid-print

    "Production MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (Windows XP) This message keeps popping up and the printer just stops in a random location. I thought I had it beat yesterday after a reboot and opening only Flexi and only using it...
  17. Mimaki CG-130FX carriage belt mangled

    Has anyone else had a problem with their Mimaki plotter carriage belt? The section that feeds into the left housing is all mangled on the bottom. I think it's riding low on whatever gear or pulley that it's traveling on in there. We've had it less than 2 years and it just recently started...
  18. Where to buy Mimaki blades?

    Does anyone know where I could get blades for the Mimaki FX series of cutting plotters that aren't "General Vinyl" blades? The one that came with the plotter lasted a lot longer and was better for fine-cutting than the ones from the factory via Advantage.
  19. Roland vs Mimaki 63"

    Okay, so I've been searching this site (which has been a tremendous help) and as far as I can tell, the only real reason for picking a Roland over a Mimaki is that Roland has excellent tech support. Is this the only major reason? I'm asking because my boss is thinking about getting the Mimaki...
